The Programme aims to provide a response to the continuing professional development needs of fully qualified professionals who wish to extend their roles, responsibilities and contribution. This capacity to make an extended contribution is especially important for mid-career professionals who face the need to re-construct current professional practice and knowledge to meet the challenge of ever-more rapid and significant change, and who work in situations where management is devolved or distributed and many are required to lead project-driven change aimed at the enhancement of practice.
The aims of the programme are to extend the skills, knowledge and understanding of the participants by;
* Increasing their capacity to meet the changing demands of professional practice by taking an evidence-based approach to personal and professional development
* Developing their capacity to critically analyse evidence and arguments to support professional judgements in complex and ambiguous situations
* Providing opportunities to frame professional enquiries into practice and so make an informed contribution to current professional debates and discussions
* Providing them with opportunities to apply advanced knowledge and understanding of a range of theoretical perspectives and approaches to enhance personal professional practice
* Developing their capacity to shape, lead and deliver change-solutions in a variety of practice settings
* Exploiting opportunities to use research to generate professional knowledge and enhance understanding and practice
